192.239.70.124 hit my ftp site on 4/13/98, the day after I announced a program to crack simple substitution ciphers on this list. When I announced the program, I accidently gave it an .exe extension (when it actually had a .zip extension). 192.239.70.124 tried to get the .exe extension and then gave up. Is it possible that 192.239.70.124 is driven by http://infinity.nus.sg/cypherpunks? I've since purchased a $10 article from the ACM and extended my program to implement G.W.Hart's algorithm; the result is archived as ftp://colbleep.ocs.lsumc.edu/pub/crypto/simplsub/win95/gwhart.zip. C source code is included; it should compile under Unix as well as Windows 95/NT.

What Does Crash Mean? and Motion to Amend Order
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Sunday 5/10/98 3:49 PM J Orlin Grabbe John Young Orlin, u 5/10/98 Albuquerque Journal What Does Crash Mean? Hang Around William Pfaff Syndicated Columnist PARIS - A friend said to me the other day that the word crash no longer is part of the American vocabulary. We only know stock market correction, and corrections have just be waited out. He explained to me that the stock market only goes up, because immense popular and political interests, as well as corporate interests are today committed to its only going up. His implied argument was that the American government has no choice but to make it go up. It struck me, as he was peaking, that this might have been what Jay Gatsby was saying to his friends during the luxurious summer of 1929, a few months before Gatsby disappeared off the end of that dock in West Egg, on Long Island Sound, or went back to the Middle West - if it was the Middle West - which, for Gatsby, would have been worse. But I am a child of the Depression. ... Pfaff concludes I would stick with an older American assumption, that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Accompanying picture by NANCY OHANIAN/ LOS ANGLES TIMES SYNDICATE has a bull pictured precariously perched atop a pinnacle ... with rocks falling around its feet. John I just saw Payne-Morales v. NSA: Motion to Amend Order May 9, 1998 and Froomkin on Payne-Morales Motion to Amend Order May 9, 1998 at http://www.jya.com/crypto.htm But I will not read them until Monday. Lets all hope someone sees the importance of posting the requested documents on Internet. Then settling this unfortunate mess. Later bill

Please feel free to forward this message to other interested individuals.] As some of you probably know, Robert Hettinga has been running a group called the Digital Commerce Society of Boston for some time now. DCSB meets once a month for lunch at the Harvard Club in Boston to hear a speaker and discuss the implications of rapidly emerging internet and cryptographic technologies on finance and commerce -- "Digital Commerce", in short. Interest has been expressed in starting a similar organization here in New York. I'm therefore pleased to announce the initial meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of New York (DCS-NY). We intend to meet the second Tuesday of each month for lunch, probably at the Harvard Club in New York, and conduct meetings much like those of DCSB. If you are interested in attending our first luncheon meeting, which will be held on June 9th, or if you wish to be informed of future meetings by e-mail please send an RSVP to "dcs-ny-rsvp(a)piermont.com" We will send out an announcement in about another week informing people of the final choice of venue and the cost for the lunch.

Baum VeriSign, Inc. PKI Requirements from a Commercial CA's Perspective Tuesday, June 2, 1998 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA Requirements for the provision of commercial certification products and services are under consideration by many companies. Similarly, efforts to regulate certification authorities (CAs) and public key infrastructure (PKI) are proliferating by many domestic and foreign governments. Underlying many of these efforts is the intention to assess and assure quality and trustworthiness, and yet the nature, scope and regime to accomplish these goals remain elusive or at least have been balkanized. This presentation will consider CA and PKI requirements from the experiences and perspective of a commercial CA. It will survey current approaches to ascertaining quality and performance as well as their limitations. It will then propose a path forward. Many of these issues are present real challenges to both the CAs and the user community. A lively dialog is welcomed. Michael S. Baum is Vice President of Practices and External Affairs, VeriSign, Inc. His responsibilities include developing practices and controls under which VeriSign conducts its public Digital ID and private label certificate operations. Mr. Baum is the Chair of the Information Security Committee, and Council Member of the Section of Science and Technology, of the American Bar Association. He is Chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) ETERMS Working Party and a Vice Chairman of the ICC's Electronic Commerce Project, a delegate to the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law on behalf of the ICC. He is a member of various digital signature legislative advisory committees. Mr. Baum is co-author (with Warwick Ford) of Secure Electronic Commerce (Prentice Hall, 1997), author of Federal Certification Authority Liability and Policy - Law and Policy of Certificate-Based Public Key and Digital Signatures (NIST, 1994), co-author of Electronic Contracting, Publishing and EDI Law (Wiley Law Publications, 1991), and contributing author to EDI and the Law (Blenheim Online, 1989), and the author of diverse information security publications including the first American articles on EDI law. He was honored as an EDI Pioneer in 1993 (EDI Forum) and was the Recipient of the National Notary Association's 1995 Achievement Award. He is a member of the Massachusetts Bar. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, June 2, 1998, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $32.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We will attempt to record this meeting for sale on CD/R, and to put it on the web in RealAudio format, at some future date. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, May 30th, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $32.50. Please include your e-mail address, so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: July Rodney Thayer IPSEC and Digital Commerce August TBA September TBA October Peter Cassidy Intellectual Property Rights Management TBA Jeremey Barrett Digital Bearer Settlement We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, and you would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Commmittee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah(a)shipwright.com>.

Chaffing & winnowing without overhead
by Jesús Cea Avión 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

You can have chaffing & winnowing without bandwidth overhead, but the resulting scheme hasn't the original "elegance" anymore. In particular, you don't send the plaintext on the clear. The new schema is useful to cypher a document using any standard signature library, exportable by definition. Very nice :), since you can use, at last, strong crypto :). a) When the connection starts, negociate an initial sequence number. The sequence number mustn't be reused. We assume a ordered delivery, like TCP. b) Calculate the signature for: [sequence]0 -> MAC0 and [sequence]1 -> MAC1 c) Compare both MACs and locate the first "different" bit, from high to low bit or viceversa. d) Send that bit from MAC0 if you want to send a "0" or from MAC1 if you want to send a "1". -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ jcea(a)argo.es http://www.argo.es/~jcea/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ PGP Key Available at KeyServ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibnitz
